BHEEDA KANDA: GUEST POST BY BEYNIAZ EDULJI

Bheeda Kanda (serves 4) 

My aim is to broad base my blog, over time, with a variety of dishes, made and enjoyed not only by me, but also by friends who contribute guest posts. My friend Beyniaz Edulji is well-known for her articles on travel and cuisine. 

When I asked her to contribute a guest post, she gladly agreed and we have today her recipe for a dish made of okra and onions, called Bheeda Kanda.  

Ingredients:

• Okra or ladies fingers, 500 grams
• Onions, large, 3
• Green chillies, chopped, 3
• Ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp
• Coriander powder, 1 tsp
• Cumin powder, 1 tsp
• Chilli powder, 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp
• Garam masala, 1/2 tsp
• Salt, to taste
• Green coriander, finely chopped, 1 bunch
• Oil, 3 tbsp

Method:
Wash the Okra and dry. 
Cut into thin slices. Finely chop the onions. 
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions and fry. 
Add the ginger garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes. 
Add the chopped chillies, Chilli powder, Salt, Turmeric Powder, the Coriander and Cumin Powders and sauté on low flame for another 2 minutes. 
Add the sliced Okra and mix well. Cook uncovered till the Okra is cooked.
